"I don't drink coffee, but I'll still share why I spend money (very little) promoting my FB fan page in print advertising. But first, let me define my version of, "Print Advertising." I have allotted marketing dollars towards two things mentioning our Fan Page: 1) Stitching on the back of hats we wear/give out, 2) Stickers The stitching on the hats has gotten a few comments from people behind us in line at the grocery store, etc. People don't mind reading the back of a hat because they know you can't see them looking at you. Not sure what our conversion rate is with the hats, but the fact that I've been able to have conversations over it with people in line makes me very happy. The stickers have been great! We actually have small square stickers with a QR code to get to our fan page. We stick them in very creative places, and the site we used to create the QR code also lets us track how many people scanned them. I figured the number would be very low, but was shocked to find out, it's..."

Companies that could gain business if airports heed Mica's call have helped fill his campaign coffers. In the past 13 years, Mica has received almost $81,000 in campaign donations from political action committees and executives connected to some of the private contractors already at 16 U.S. airports. http://news.yahoo.com/s...

Congratulations!!! We'll have a celebration in 3 weeks... roughly. My day is getting better...I have my own office & my new computer....woo-hoo!!!
- Lindsay Urick
good for you shaun. 5:30 can't come fast enough around here!
- Douglas Blair
Yeah, it's nice. Half my issues with it are about speed, so presumably the faster CPU of the N1 means you won't encounter those. Oh yeah, and not having a 3.5mm jack, also not an issue after the Magic.

Rooted G1 running Android 2.1 :D Looking forward to the N2 or Dell Mini 5 or... who the hell knows what's around the bend! It's the wild wild west right now...

I like mine. The browser is great, I am happy with the amount of apps and I love the how they have made it so easy to share pics on FB, Flickr and Twitter. I also really like the Gmail and Sprint Nav interfaces. I don't care for the on screen keyboard. In my opinion, Apple is the only one to get a keyboard right. The camera can be crappy if your subject isn't still. Also, if you have too many things running at once everything moves really slow.

This is all excellent feed back -- I'm not as worried or scared anymore.

The general apps for Android are a decent second place to Apple IMO, but for games it's a distant second. I want an iPod touch just so I don't miss out. (and I can tell myself it's professional curiosity. =) )

I have a Nexus One and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still have my iphone for a few apps, but Android FTW!

Droid and its awesome. My first smart phone and it can pretty much do anything.
- Douglas Blair
G1 owner here. It gets slow at times, but that's not a fault of the OS. I'll be glad when I can upgrade. I do love it, though!

Nexus One, which I absolutely love, but waiting on it to be repaired, after my toddler chucked it against the hardwood floor. Cracked screen :(
- Joel Webber
Joel, that's terrible. I dropped mine from my desk the other day with the USB plugged in. It bent the part on the cord, and no it doesn't stay in well, but the phone is fine, and the wall charger still works perfectly. I can't wait for the OTA update coming today.
- shaun mclane
I've dropped my G1 many times on concrete, in the rain, in the rain on concrete, etc... not a scratch on the screen. Still works. Luck of the draw I guess.

Dear Friendfeed: I want to apologize for abandoning you for Facebook. It didn't mean anything...honest. And now that she left me (banned me, whatever), I hope you'll take me back. We're lobsters!
Yep. Well, I think so. I got banned last week, then started the new one, and they killed it again yesterday. I've seemed to have pissed off the FB gods.
- shaun mclane
shouldn't they provide a reason for the ban?
- Ryan Blunt
Hopefully they will, but so far, I haven't heard a thing.
- shaun mclane
One would hope, but it doesn't seem that way. I'm still holding out hope.

I would buy one of these today if they existed. Seems like a much better idea for a tablet, and I'm a huge apple fan. I also like Chrome as an OS versus Android on a tablet.
- shaun mclane
looks like the tablets and control boards they used on Star Trek
